N:
Right. That was… oh! Good evening. I-I had already flipped to the next
page and almost started reading the title of the song that just got
played. I just surprised myself there. Uh, this is Kazunari Ninomiya
from Arashi. Tonight’s opening thought comes from radio pen name
Momoka-chan: “In DraQue IX, there’s a foul-mouthed priest, right? Have
you stopped the game when you find him? Usually, the game will display
a message that reads, ‘Please turn off the power’, but if you do it in
front of this priest, it’ll say, ‘Turn off the damn power’ instead.
They pay attention to the details, don’t they? I suggest you try that
once.”

N:
Really… I wonder where he is in the game, this person. I did meet that
foreign priest, though. There was one, right? But I haven’t played
lately. Seriously, not at all. Right now, I’d say… even now, I’m still
lurking around The Beast’s Cave, I think. I’ve just been pacing around
that place, back and forth. And before that, I was at The Closed Cave
(*this dungeon is haunted with ghosts, skeletons, possessed souls…), so
my image of DraQue IX is all about caves. I up my skills there. I up
all of their skills. That’s what I feel is never-ending, really. ST—…
oh? Ah… [laugh] Right. That’s too bad. STBY is, well… is… he’s unable
to leave his house. He can’t come out. So he may not make an appearance
for you all, not in time anyway. But uh… this cannot be helped. Things
happen but we carry on. If you’ve got any stories you’d like for me to
shout at the beginning of the show, do send them in. N: This is Kazunari Ninomiya’s BayStorm with tonight’s opening number. Here’s Arashi-san’s “Kimi no Tame ni Boku ga Iru”.[♪ Arashi – “Kimi no Tame ni Boku ga Iru”]

N:
That was Arashi-san’s “Kimi no Tame ni Boku ga Iru”. This is Arashi’s
Kazunari Ninomiya bringing you BayStorm. Let’s move onto this segment:STBY: Please! Let’s Settle This Peacefully~N:
STBY isn’t even here anymore… what a pity. This one’s from radio pen
name Misatassun-san: “My boyfriend’s last name is rather unique, so
when he is asked for his name at a restaurant, the employees always ask
him twice. One day, he had the chance to write his name down himself,
so he wrote his name down in kanji with furigana at the top (*furigana
is a reading tool in Japanese; it tells you how to sound out a kanji by
providing the syllables in hiragana). When I saw that, I thought that
he had skipped a character because he found it troublesome, so between
one furigana and another, I added a line that denotes elongation of the
sound (*looks like this: ―). But my boyfriend looked at me perplexed. I
was confused myself, but I just had learned his last name wrong. It
took me a year to realize that I didn’t know my boyfriend’s name.”

N:
WOW! I wonder what his name is. What?! This… isn’t this crazy?! Last
name, huh? Maybe she calls him by his first name. Even then, wouldn’t
she put his last name in her cellphone… or maybe not? You wouldn’t if
it were your boyfriend… huh? Wow… is his name that difficult? I haven’t
met anyone with such complex name, really. I mean, people don’t have
the elongated character in their last names, do they? Right? I wonder
what his name is. But this is insane. This person could probably talk
about this for thirty minutes, definitely.N:
Next is by radio pen name Onigiri wa yappari tsunamayo-san: “The other
day, I flushed the upstairs toilet but the water wouldn’t stop running.
It was 1am. Everyone else in my family was fast asleep, so I wanted to
fix the problem myself. I twisted a screw at the bottom of the bowl,
but I had somehow turned it the wrong way. The water started spurting
out with force, like you’d see in a cartoon. Before I knew it, water
was up to my ankles. I ended up waking up my dad, and though he had
managed to stop the water from flowing, my whole family cleaned the
toilet, and there was water damage down into the first floor that we
had to tend to immediately. I’m really sorry for twisting the screw in
the wrong direction.”N:
Seriously, I bet her dad was totally depressed. To build a toilet
upstairs is a huge decision, I think. I mean, there aren’t many, right?
An upstairs toilet? (*not all Japanese houses and apartments have
multiple toilets) You had one?! What? To me, that’s a yardstick for how
I measure rich people. Having a toilet upstairs is one of those things.
To have a bathroom on the second floor with children’s rooms, to me,
is… oh!N:
So you’re rich?! What does your father do for a living? A fisherman?
Ah, the “Tuna Palace”? What is your palace made of? A “Sardine Palace”,
huh? Wow. So does that mean you have taxidermies of these fish? In your
home? Oh, of a bear, too? Does it have any sardines in his mouth?
[laugh] “The Sardine Palace”, huh? Wow, so it must be a big home. How
many jyous are there? (*a “jyou” is a measurement used to calculate the
surface area of a home; about 1.65m2) Your living room. 10
jyou? (*this is relatively small) It’s only 10 jyou but you have an
upstairs toilet? No, that’s not right. In my head, having an upstairs
bathroom makes you rich. Yeah, and it’s the children’s floor. The third
floor is the parent’s master bedroom. That’s the image I have. What?
You mean to say you only have a bathroom on the second floor? [laugh]
The water pipes are all on the second floor? You have one on the first
floor, too, right? Yeah, I thought so. I see. To me, that’s a sign of
wealth, the second floor bathroom.N:
This one’s from radio pen name Warai no kamisama (*God of humor): “When
I play games with my family, I cry when I lose. It’s been that way
since I was little. It’s not that I hate losing or anything like that.
So when I lose, it becomes a tense situation. When I play with my
friends, this doesn’t happen. I’m sorry for this.”N:
I understand. There are people like that, really. What was it? Probably
a board game, right? Like ItaSuto. (*short for Itadaki Street, a
computer board game created by the same creator as Dragon Quest) There
are people who cry playing ItaSuto. Or The Game of Life. That game is
well-made. Who do you become? At the first fork in the road? There’s
always a fork in the road at the beginning. The row of careers… I
always wonder what I want to be as I spin that dial thing. I always
wanted to be the doctor as I spun it, but I end up passing it and
become a regular businessman. Then you get married and buy a home,
right? What a well-thought out game. I played Itadaki Street, too, back
in the day. It’s even more fun now. The characters are from Dragon
Quest and Final Fantasy. The characters have become the focal point of
the game. That’s what makes it nice. That’s good.N:
I love money a lot, so I love play MomoTetsu (*short for Momotaro
Dentetsu, a computer board game where you buy train stations). With
MomoTetsu, in the end, well, there was a 20th anniversary edition that
just came out. I guess not so recent, pretty far back, actually. I
worked my butt off and saved 12 trillion yen. Afterwards, [laugh] I
went to the convenience store, and though I was just shopping around as
usual, I was thinking, “Hm, maybe I should buy the store?” That’s how
it gets, really. You start wondering what would happen if you did have
12 trillion yen. I mean, think about it; there’s Shibuya, and Shinjuku.
(*he’s talking about the stations in the game you can own) You can stop
at Yoyogi in August, oh, it’s August right now. So you stop at Yoyogi,
and just stopping there gets you 2.1 million yen, in MomoTetsu. Then
I’ll just stop at Yoyogi all the time, just circle around. But it’s
hard to make money, mm-hmm. Everyone’s still working hard though.
Anyway, you can send in stories you’d like to apologize for, and I’ll
take care of the rest. That’s all for tonight but please continue
sending in mail. Please listen now to Arashi’s “Nice na Kokoroiki”.[♪ Arashi – “Nice na Kokoroiki”]

N:
That was Arashi-san’s “Nice na Kokoroiki”. This is Arashi’s Kazunari
Ninomiya bringing you BayStorm. Here’s our next segment: Ura Arashi!
(*Arashi secrets!) First is by radio pen name Mishiranu watashi: “I saw
Mishiranu Jyokyaku. Your dramatic acting had me captivated. I
was moved that you came out four times to take a bow. Now, during the
10-minute…” She must mean 20 minutes. “… break, what were you doing?
I’m curious.”N:
I was just conversing with the cast members. And changing clothes. I
was chatting away, blab, blab, blab… It was challenging. There were
about 33 showings in a span of two weeks. That’s pretty insane, really.
It felt like I was at the theater all day. Especially, so Wednesdays
were our days off, so Thursdays after that, we show twice, a matinee
and soiree. That was rough. But stamina-wise, it wasn’t tiring at all.
Strictly speaking in terms of physical stamina, I could do 3 or 4
showings. Me, anyway. The others were already feeling it. It’s probably
because I dance. I had so much energy left over it was kind of
embarrassing after we finish a show. [laugh] Everyone else is feeling
its aftermath, and I’m like, “Huh? Did I not act properly?” The
fatigue… I guess I’m still young, well, not so young. But in comparison
to the others on the cast, well, at least a 5-year difference? Yeah,
that’s right.

N:
This is from radio pen name Nanja-monja-san: “For House Foods’ premium
campaign, Arashi and Disney collaborate. In the commercials, you’re
dancing and high-fiving with Minnie-chan. Just watching it makes me
happy. If you have any Disney stories, do let us know.”N: That’s
the place where dreams come true! I think that’s the longest I got to
hang out with Mickey. Or those four. (*Mickey, Minnie, Donald Duck, and
Goofy) It was a long time. I was pulling pranks with Mickey the whole
time. And Minnie, so… I was with Minnie and Aiba-kun was with Mickey. I
was with Minnie. It’s so much fun. You can experience Disneyland there,
just having the four of them there. I was so moved. What are we doing
for that? You can even win a collectible clock! Wow… how exciting! Wow…
Arashi-san’s so cool, seriously. November? The 20th. Right, I see.

N:
This next one is from radio pen name Kokuritsu Kyogijou concert
ikuyo-san (*I’m going to the Kokuritsu concert): “In the past, Ohno-kun
said on his radio show that Arashi had formed a band and he was the
drummer, and that the day of the concert, you all decided not to follow
through with it. What were you to play, Ninomiya-kun? Let me know.”N:
[laugh] This… what was I to play? Probably guitar. And Aiba-kun was the
bassist, I think. But letting Aiba-kun play the bass was a mistake. He
gets so excited that he starts speeding up, Aiba-kun’s playing. I
thought, “Maybe we should have given him the guitar instead.” That’s
when I regretted giving him the bass. We did form a band, though. On
the day of, too. On the day of (the concert), we decided not to do it.
[laugh] But everyone was thinking the same thing. We cancelled it
immediately. I remember that. No one was trying to push for it.
Everyone agreed to cancel it. How nostalgic…

N:
Next. Radio pen name Nino-chan ni kinjyo moraitai-san (*I want to
receive goldfish from Nino-chan): “In your new AU commercial, you’re a
master at catching the goldfish. Are you good at that in real life? Let
me know.”N:
Is there anyone who IS good at that? I guess there are. But do you do
scoop for fish every week? If I did that every week, I’m sure I’d be
good at it, but this is a once a year thing. Is there anything that you
do once a year that you’re good at? I can’t think of anything. Maybe
the Countdown. I think I’m getting better at it every year, starting
from “ten”. But that’s about it.

N:
Scooping for goldfish… I can do katanuki (*these are cut-outs you make
out of pre-stenciled special paper). Oh, is that a local thing or is it
well-known? Well-known… you can’t put saliva on that thing; you’ll mess
up so quickly. I used to do those. I was really good at that stuff. I
never messed up, I was good, now that I think about it. I rarely messed
up, not that I’d get a prize or anything. I wasn’t motivated by prizes
when it came to those.N:
And those goldfish… it’s hard work once you bring some home. But the
goldfish game was really extravagant at the carnivals in my hometown.
Our ward had a fish store (*like a pet store, but sells just fish), so
they always had the goldfish that were impossible to catch, the large
ones. There were ones as big as koi, seriously. They get really big if
you give it oxygen. I’m serious!N:
Lots of oxygen… you know those filters that give 10x more oxygen? They
sell those now. If you keep them in those kinds of tanks, the size of
those goldfish would get crazy. They really do grow big! No, I’m
serious, this big, no, no, I’m not joking. For real. I’m serious!
[laugh] Oh, you all don’t believe me. To what should I compare the
size? Oh, yeah, an A4 size paper (*210mm×297mm), or tissue… but the
fish aren’t square so these angles, I’d like to get rid of these
corners. But the size of a tissue… it’ll grow to be about the size of a
tissue box, no joke. They really get gigantic! No, I saw them! Yeah,
humongous.N:
Try feeding it some oxygen. Not that I’d do anything if you did, but…
they do grow, really. Really, really. Goldfish can grow. I mean,
they’re goldfish! I’m not sure why [laugh] I was so caught up with
goldfish, but they really do grow. That’s a lot of work when you think
about it. Yeah, anyway, if you have questions for me, do send them in
to the Ura Arashi segment. Please take a listen now. This is
Arashi-san’s “Hitomi no Naka no Galaxy”.[♪ Arashi – “Hitomo no Naka no Galaxy”]

N:
We have a new album coming out. On August 19th. Our Best album, All the
BEST! 1999-2009, goes on sale. This album includes all 26 singles
released in the past ten years plus a new song the members wrote in
appreciation for their fans, totaling to 31 songs. The limited first
edition includes a third disc with Arashi’s selection. The ten songs on
that disc were not released as singles. Tonight, you heard “Kimi no
Tame ni Boku ga Iru”, “Nice na Kokoroiki”, and “Hitomi no Naka no
Galaxy”, so that’s from disc one. I focused on the first disc tonight.
How nostalgic. 10 years has certainly passed, hasn’t it? Next week,
I’ll play selections from disc two, and next, next week, I’ll play disc
three. Nah, let’s nix disc three. But these songs… these should last
you a good half a year. Wow, we’ve released that many? That’s 31 songs.
Wow. And how nostalgic. That was from Minami-kun no Koibito. How nostalgic. That was Arashi’s “Hitomi no Naka no Galaxy”.

N:
Tonight’s winner is radio pen name Nino-chan ni kingyo moraitai-san,
who will receive STBY’s t-shirt. The pen name winner is
Nanja-monja-san, who will receive Yamazaki-san. I hope you enjoy them.
